A new Stats Canada report states homeowners' insurance in Alberta increased nearly five times in a 20-year period — the highest increase of any province. Homeowners' insurance premiums in Alberta went up 391.6% from Dec 2005 to Dec 2025. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
This is from the 10 page Stats Canada report. The light blue shows the alarming rise of catastrophe events claims. The black line shows the rise of property tax increases and red line shows the the rising costs of auto insurance.
(Personal note: I saw a jump up of around $1000 on my combined property and car insurance after the Alberta Hail storms and I live in Waterloo Ontario. I switched my insurance companies and saved most of that money. My advice revisit your insurance policies and shop around.)

This chart shows the property claims that happened in 2024.
The timing of it lines up with the August hail storm event that damaged homes and smashed cars with baseball sized hail.

This May Be One of the Most Important Moments Ever Broadcast on CNBC 🧵
Every once in a while, someone who spent years buying into the media’s narrative about President Trump publicly admits they got it wrong.
That’s exactly what happened on CNBC this morning.
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya conceded that he was one of the many influential voices who bought into the media’s narrative about Donald Trump.
Now, after revisiting the original source material and getting to know Trump personally, he’s publicly admitting he was wrong.
But there was more to it than just an admission of error.
Across one conversation, Palihapitiya not only praised Trump’s presidency, but made the case that millions of Americans were fundamentally misled about the man himself.
Palihapitiya said his personal turning point was simply going back and watching the original footage that the media had spent years talking about.
According to him, that’s when everything unraveled.

Palihapitiya said his personal turning point was simply going back and watching the original footage that the media had spent years talking about.
According to him, that’s when everything unraveled.
The conversation started with CNBC’s Joe Kernen bringing up an old debate the two had.
Kernen reminded Chamath that he had recently admitted Kernen was right about climate change, then decided to ask one more question.
KERNEN: “You said I was 100% right on climate change.”
PALIHAPITIYA: “You were 100% right on climate change.”
KERNEN: “What about Trump?”
Chamath shook his head in agreement.
PALIHAPITIYA: “You’re 100% right on Trump. He’s fantastic!”
KERNEN: “Great person?”
PALIHAPITIYA: “Unbelievable person! Very smart on top of it. Open minded. Debates with you.”
KERNEN: “Great president?”
PALIHAPITIYA: “Great president, so far.”
Kernen had clearly been waiting for that moment.

PALIHAPITIYA: “Great president, so far.”
Kernen had clearly been waiting for that moment.
But the bombshell came when Palihapitiya explained how his opinion on Trump changed.
That admission immediately changed the direction of the conversation.
He told CNBC that he had fallen into the same trap as millions of other Americans who formed their opinions based on headlines, clips, and commentary instead of going back and examining the original statements themselves.
According to Palihapitiya, once he actually watched the source material, he realized the picture he had been given was completely different.
PALIHAPITIYA: “The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump.”
“And if you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.”
“One, he didn’t say half the things he said, and two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?”
“I think that that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there’s still been no repercussions, really.”
Palihapitiya explained that one of the biggest turning points for him came when he revisited the controversy surrounding Trump’s comments after Charlottesville.
He said he realized that the version of events he had accepted did not line up with what Trump had actually said.
That led him to reconsider his entire view of the president.
PALIHAPITIYA: “I took the time to learn about it. I admitted where…you know, the way that I met him was, I admitted on the pod, which, you know, has millions of viewers.”
“And I said, I got it totally wrong because I went and I watched Charlottesville.”
The part that surprised everyone on the panel was what came next.
Palihapitiya said that after publicly admitting he had gotten the Charlottesville issue wrong, he received a phone call from President Trump himself.
PALIHAPITIYA: “And, you know, the first person to call me? President Trump.”
“And I got to know him and I put the phone down, I called my wife, and I said, we got it TOTALLY, totally wrong. We were lied to.”
“And then I got to know him and he is fantastic!”
It was a remarkable on-air admission from someone who had previously viewed Trump negatively.
Palihapitiya’s argument was that his experience was not unique...millions of Americans had formed their opinions from the same sources and may have never gone back to examine the original material themselves.

Boston's Finest. And, as far as Irish-American bands go, they wrote the script. Even though they were formed 3 years after The Tossers and only a year before Flogging Molly.
Kicking things off with "Cadence to arms / Do or die"
It is pretty unreasonable to skip "all fresh produce" while epidemiologists work to identify the source of the #cyclosporiasis outbreak, when there are great ways to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and reduce your risk.

TLDR: Wash and Cook your food.
Firstly, you need to understand 1) cyclosporiasis, 2) fruit and veggie production and 3) eliminating it.
1 - Cyclosporiasis is spread via the fecal-oral route. So fecal matter somehow ends up in our food supply and we eat it. This typically happens in one of 3 ways.

a) humans working the fields without proper restroom access contaminate the soil or the produce directly when picking produce.
b) fecal matter contaminates irrigation water used in the fields, or
c) someone sick handles produce after harvesting

No Muslim recites this Dua without Allah removing any distress from their life
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Lā ilāha illā Anta, subḥānaka innī kuntu minaẓ-ẓālimīn.
There is no god except You. Glory be to You. Indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers.

Allah answered Prophet Yunus (AS), rescued him from distress, and then promised:
"Thus do We save the believers." (Qur'an 21:88)
Memorize it. Repeat it. Believe it. Allah never ignores a sincere du'a.

Most people just use it for cleaning.
But it:
• Pulls pesticides off produce
• Alkalizes the body — huge for detox
• Acts as a pre-workout endurance booster
I’ve never used it before lifting, but I’ve heard testimonies. And I trust the earth more than I trust pharma.

Lemons are God’s reset button for your liver.
Full of vitamin C and bitter compounds that stimulate bile.
Your liver filters everything and supporting it naturally with something as basic as lemon water is the kind of simple wisdom we've forgotten.

CHART 1: The top 10 companies don't stay there forever.
Yesterday's biggest companies generally aren't the
biggest companies today.
It's hard to imagine today's giants getting knocked off. But that's exactly what history shows.
There are already new names entering the top 10 as of July 2026.

CHART 2: Drawdowns happen every single year.
This is my favorite chart in the entire guide.
Since 1980, the S&P 500 has experienced a drawdown in all 46 of 46 years.
And still produced positive returns in 35 of those 46 years.
Volatility is the price of admission. Not a reason to exit.

Thanks to President Trump, Secretary @SecRubio, and America First diplomacy, the Administration successfully convinced Laos to accept its nationals or former nationals as deportees from the United States.
For decades, previous Administrations did not care.

Starting with Ambassador to Germany @RichardGrenell in the Trump 45 Administration, who convinced Germany to accept the last Nazi concentration camp guard, President Trump @StephenM has made accepting deported nationals an issue in our relationships with foreign countries.

U.S. political leadership needs to decide to make it an issue to provide policy guidance for our government.
You should look more closely at this.
